Mathematics Programs That Make a Difference

AMS Recognizes Mathematics Programs That Make a Difference

The American Mathematical Society will highlight two programs each year that specifically:
  • aim to bring more persons from underrepresented minority backgrounds into some portion of the pipeline beginning at the undergraduate level and leading to an advanced degree in mathematics, or retain them in the pipeline;
  • have achieved documentable success in doing so; and
  • are replicable models.

The first two programs were recognized at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Antonio, January 12-15, 2006.
